FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets added some depth to the offensive line, acquiring guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif from the Kansas City Chiefs for tight end Daniel Brown ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline.
Duvernay-Tardif is a licensed medical doctor who opted out of last season to work on the front lines in the battle against COVID-19. He was active for the first time Monday night for the Chiefs’ 20-17 win over the New York Giants but didn’t play.
The 30-year-old offensive lineman from Canada has played in 60 NFL games and was the starting right guard for Kansas City in its 31-20 victory over San Francisco in the Super Bowl during the 2019 season.
